These delicate white flowers are classic garden flowers - they look beautiful and will provide blooms for years to come.
Baby's Breath, a quintessential element of any flower garden, offers a delicate contrast to larger, more vibrant wild varieties with its charming presence. Not only is it cost-effective and easy to cultivate, but its abundant growth is highly encouraged. Characterized by its free branching and heavy blooming nature, this plant features sharp pointed leaves and hundreds of small double white flowers in each spray, blooming from July to October and reaching heights of 3-4 ft. As a hardy annual, Baby's Breath can endure short-term droughts and, though native to Europe and now widespread across the eastern United States, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, unable to tolerate acidic conditions
